Difficult Problems in Cyberlaw » Blog Archive » DisputeFinder: crowdsourcing controversy - Macroblog: "DisputeFinder is a Firefox extension, that is a collaboration between Intel Research and UC Berkeley. Its basic premise is to allow readers of web content to understand the broader context of claims made on websites. If a claim about a controversial topic (think global warming, gun control or a “healthy” new diet) is made on a site, users of this plugin will be immediately notified by colored text that there are conflicting viewpoints on that particular topic. Users can submit topics on specific sites as controversial, and support the opposing viewpoint with evidence from another site. Users also have the ability to vote this content up or down, in terms of how useful/accurate they find the new data."
